I've prepared code change which should prohibit devices probing during
suspend/hibernation
(below). It also expected to fix wait_for_device_probe() to take into account
the case
when the deferred probe workqueue could be still active.
NOTE: It's only compile time tested!
I'm very sorry that I'm replying here instead of sending a proper patch -
I'm on business trip right now and I will be traveling next week also and will
not
be able to work on it intensively.
If proposed approach is correct I can send RFC/RFT patch/es (or anyone else
could
pick up it if interested to move forward faster).
